hi all
not sure if this is the right forum so mods feel free to move to the correct one.
I just need a confirmation that what i am doing is correct. Am building a house in Oz and having cat 5e put all over the house, leading back to the study, where i have my wireless router (its about 4 years old now so will prob need updating) - am assuming that i just plug the router into the network port???. Then I am looking to get a NAS (something like a WD Sharespace but may start with a mybook world edition) and plugging that into the router. So, if i then plug a newtork media player (I have a popcorn hour and a asrock ap-300 (great bit of kit)) or laptop/pc into the network socket, plug that into the tv/hifi then i will be able to see all the stuff on the NAS (mp3 and avi's) and play through that channel.
Now, if i want to distribute foxtel, do i just plug the foxtel box into the router? or do i plug that into an ariel (coax) cable routed round the house and just have that as a seperate channel on the screens?
To change channel, I am assuming that i am going to have to have some infra red remote system placed strategically around the house?
all these questions!!!!
cheers
Chris
